Transformer Furniture: Distendido by Guillem Ferran

We love transformer furniture that changes to adapt to different functions. It is often complicated with moving parts and hinges, and often expensive to make; sometimes it also sacrifices comfort for utility. Guillem Ferran designed the Distendido for "Habitat Valencia", where young designers presented work that "questioned how we utilize and create personal space, presenting some tangible solutions for those living in tight spaces."

Guillem's chair looks like it might be a bit hard on the tush, but it does a neat trick:

Turn it on its end and it becomes a laundry rack. No moving parts, multiple functions, neat idea. ::DesignBoom via ::Cribcandy
